Pera Bistro - Williamstown

I love this place. Delicious food, wonderful staff and super chill atmosphere. @bethy_the_vt_hiker

Excellent seafood paella. Good beer selection. Attentive service. Outdoor seating available.

The best brazed lam shank I've ever had. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had a really great time here. It is probably the best Turkish/Mediterranean food in the area. Really fabulous kebab, hummus, falafel and baklava. Lots of good options on the menu without being overwhelming. The staff is happy to answer any questions. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable with many well cushioned seating areas.

The food here is about 3-. Nothing is GREAT and nothing is TERRIBLE, it's about what you would expect at a Mediterranean restaurant in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Unfortunately the vibe and service are ATROCIOUS. We went in for lunch, it wasn't particularly busy but it was mostly full, a sort of normal lunch situation. It took 15 minutes to get our menus. Then it took 15 more minutes to be able to order. Then it took over ONE HOUR to get our food. In the midst of all this, we were politely asking about our food's whereabouts, and clearly other patrons were also asking. All of a sudden, in a situation reminiscent of a scene from a movie, the sort of casual din of the conversation is interrupted by INSANE SCREAMING from the owner in the kitchen yelling at kitchen staff and waitstaff just out of the view of the dining room, echoing throughout the entire restaurant. The entire restaurant went silent in shock. We were horribly embarrassed for the owner and felt terribly for the waitstaff.
